Thanks Len. That's what I did to begin with... Now I get this:
# postfix start postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: var/spool/postfix/public postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /var/spool/postfix/maildrop postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postqueue postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postdrop postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Here is my passwd file entries: postfix:*:12345:12345:postfix:/no/where/postfix:/nonexistent postdrop:*:12346:12346:postdrop:/no/where/postdrop:/nonexistent I also have another machine that does the very same thing. Could I have fouled up the postfix install somehow? ~Casey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Len Conrad Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 11:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMGate] Re: Silly Forgetfulness ># postfix start >postfix: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameters mail_owner and >setgid_group: user postfix and group postfix have the same group ID: >12345 in freebsd, I do this: pw groupadd -n postfix pw useradd -n postfix -g postfix -d /no/where pw groupadd -n postdrop -g 54321 in main.cf: setgid_group = postdrop This give two different groups postfix and postdrop I think postfix will correct this if you run "make upgrade" (but it won't create the postdrop group).
